Our monthly Shabbat Seminars provide BHBE community members with the opportunity to explore complex, relevant, and current topics that impact us on a personal, ritual, societal, cultural, and/or religious level. We engage in text-based learning and conversations led by BHBE clergy, expert community members, or outside Jewish organizations. Together, we seek to reconcile tradition with modernity, understanding and addressing pressing issues that often affect us.
